Lightning strikes - Power outages
Due to lightning strikes we have a number of power outages across the Western and Northern parts of the Waikato and in Hamilton city.
Our crews are heading out to the various sites to assess the damage and where possible, make repairs. We have brought in additional resources to help us out but your patience is appreciated.
SAFETY COMES FIRST. If the work is unsafe, staff will make the site safe and return to repair the damage at an alternate time.
Please stay away from downed lines and do not try to remove trees or debris from lines.
Power out and not on our website? Call 0800 800 935.
